How would you say you're a communist without saying you're a communist? (hexbear.net)

Examples that come to mind:

  • saying your favorite video game is Disco Elysium
  • saying your favorite TV show is Star Trek DS9

The two rules are that:

  1. It has to be to do with a category that is socially acceptable to talk about with most people in a casual setting. So no politics or philosophy.
  2. Nothing too on the nose, ex, no "I love the music of the Red Army Choir" or something.

you're missing the best exchange from that episode:

Elaine (gifting Ned a shirt, which he says is 'too fancy'): Just because you're a communist, does that mean you can't wear anything nice? You look like Trotsky

Ned (excitedly): Good!
